55 gal stock list recommendations

[drcole]

I am completely new to the hobby but have done some research. My stock list of what I have compiled includes:
Ocellaris Clown (2)
Flame angel
Red scooter Benny
Blue and Gold Damsel
Coral Beauty Angel
Gold assessor basslet
Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (2)
Green Mandarin

I am looking for suggestions as to what all may be compatible for a reef tank and what fish you would recommend against.
Thanks in advance!!

IMO you should wait for the Red Scooter and the mandarin.! like at least 6 months.

In a 55g I would recommend picking one or the other on the mandarin and scooter and definitely wait 6 months to add whichever you decide.

Angels may pick at corals, some do, some don't, and they are difficult to get out onc d in a tank.

A flame and a coral beauty in a 55 might be a bad idea

The reason to wait on the mandarin is they eat the tiny shrimp in the tank and it takes a long time to build up enough in your tank so the mandarins don't starve.

If added at the same time it should be fine, but separately it could spell trouble.

^Regarding the angels.

The angels were meant to be listed as one or the other. I have read they may nip at corals but was hoping I would get lucky and pick up one from my LFS that didn't. I didn't know if you guys preferred one angel over the other. Any other suggestions that you recommend to include in the list?? What may I need to add in order to assist with the cleaning?
